Did cc not say in his pre match confrence that with sam going where looking for a prop and a half back but the trouble is only one quota spot left.

No one as mentioned Simon would you have him back?

Can't say I've noticed him this year.
Always like Simon but in this pack he isn't that big.
I liked him as the extra front row forward at 13 but Arona has that sown up now.

Would rather go for sheer tackle busting size.

No he's a bigger penalty machine than any of our current forwards but not as good as any of them imho

I agree, he was good for us at the time but I think if we want to progress then we need to move on to better players.

If he were the best available then fine he was good lad but I don't think he is the best and it's not even a very big list.

If Salford get into real bother we could do a Hudds. Of course we'd have to dig deep and there would be a cue IMHO for both players but either of these two would give us an aesome F/R


CRAIG KOPCZAK (he's even local)

BEN MURDOCH-MASILA

He was homesick last time, that isn't gonna change, no thanks.

Re: The difficult third album : Fri Sep 29, 2017 9:15 am  

I would take Kopczak, and would have taken Massila, but we have signed Horo.

Feel that if there were a quota spot free, would use it on a half back TBH

Ackroyd is possibly the best #7 in the U19s and looks like he will be ready to move up this year, Randell can also slot into the halves if needed too. I don't think we need anything more than another prop, preferably someone like Fifita who can play with a bit of flair and thought too

I'll put it another way. An average scrum half will look great behind one of the best packs in the league. A world class scrum half will struggle behind a poor pack. So Ackroyd would do just fine if used sparingly.

It's the oldest rule in the book, packs win prizes.

Gale is a very good HB but he wouldn't have won the game for Cas if they didn't have an excellent pack.
